We also have resources available for those who really need help sourcing, buying and installing a heating option this winter. Contact us to learn more.

Oh and another thing:

We have a number of volunteers building, buying, repairing, hosting and monitoring a purple monitor network in our airshed. Check out your nearest readings at https://www.purpleair.com/map#11.62/54.7911/-127.1638. Set the search for raw PM2.5, this is the particle size causing the most concern.

Yeah for clean air volunteers!
